Chin Implant
Chin implant surgery, also known as chin augmentation or mentoplasty, enhances the shape, size, and projection of the chin to create a more balanced facial profile. This procedure is especially effective for individuals with a recessed or weak chin, and it can dramatically improve the definition of the jawline and overall harmony of the face. Chin implants are made of biocompatible materials and are designed to look and feel natural.
How is a Chin Implant performed?
Chin augmentation is typically performed under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia and takes about 45 minutes to an hour. A small incision is made either underneath the chin or inside the mouth (behind the lower lip). Through this incision, the surgeon creates a pocket and carefully inserts the implant over the chin bone.
Once in position, the implant is secured, and the incision is closed with fine sutures. When placed correctly by a skilled surgeon, the result is a stronger, more defined chin that complements your natural features.
Post Chin Implant Care
Recovery from chin implant surgery is generally smooth, with most patients returning to regular activities within a week. Swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort around the chin and jawline are normal but gradually subside.
